One reason is that the server software handles the path, and some independent script handles the query, and you might well have a server system that uses UTF-8 in paths, but a legacy script expects ISO-8859-1 query strings. If it is necessary and possible to communicate the encoding, if any, then these two components need separate labels for maximum compatibility. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
